I wanted to know how they work, what the different approaches are, and how they can be used. In the last few years I've been slowly gravitating toward working more directly with databases.
Useful takeaways from this story.

The useful part
I wanted to know how they work, what the different approaches are, and how they can be used. In the last few years I've been slowly gravitating toward working more directly with databases. This evolution in the way my code talks to databases is the reason I created Extralite, a Ruby gem for working with SQLite databases.
How it works
- Why do I prefer direct interaction with the database instead of using an ORM?
Details worth keeping
I've always been interested in the design of ORMs. I tried a bunch of different ones, I even created one.
